Coming Up at Nova Arts in Keene

Join us at Nova Arts in Keene this Saturday night for a night of regional songwriters!

Breanna Elaine is a full time musician, Folk singer/songwriter based out of Vermont. Breanna's music is dripping with plenty of earthy folk, indie, singer/songwriter sounds, but the term "folk music" does not fully encapsulate the work of this blooming musician. Her debut album, "Seedlings" was released January 1st, 2023. She performs a mix of originals as well as a wide array of covers on both guitar and banjo. Breanna is recognized around Vermont and surrounding areas for her unique sound and songwriting talent. With over 100 original songs that have still yet to be recorded, this is just the beginning for Breanna Elaine, a true star on the rise.

"Generally classified on music sites as folk/rock, as the evening went on, it was clear she transcends definition. She's been compared to Jewel (though Breanna's covers of Jewel are in many ways superior to the originals), Alanis Morissette, and Janis Ian. Tack on an early Fiona Apple song and it's easy to understand just how diversely her talent runs."
-Susan Johnson of the Brandon reporter

Derek Sensale gives an intimate stage performance of original folk songs, rooted in tradition and generously dusted with Vermont soil. Leaning into the wonders of the natural world, each song is a personal narrative stitched together with melodies ranging from joyful to melancholic.

Temple Mountain, a soulful Long Island singer-songwriter, blends Elliott Smith and John Mayer influences. From NYC to Austin, a New Hampshire hiatus for self-discovery preceded his return. With a psychology background, Temple Mountain weaves human complexities into his songwriting, promising a captivating exploration of the human condition and a profound connection with his audience.

Doors are at 7:00 p.m., and music will start promptly at 7:30. The show is all ages and seating is first come first served.

Tickets are available at novaarts.org/events, at Brewbakers / Terra Nova Coffee, or at the door.
